Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy

In Psalm 28:6-9, David said: "Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever."

I don't know about you, but I can identify with David. I have seen some pits, valleys, and low places. I have been talked about and counted out during certain points in my life that I once lost hope in the people I thought were close to me. But God -- oh God, brought me from a mighty long way. And now, little things like that don't bother me at all. You see, I have my hope back, because God helped me. And He will help you too, so don't worry one single bit. God's got you. And Like David, when you know to whom your help comes -- real deep holy spirit help -- then you can keep your eyes gazed straight on the God who matters. And when our gaze is on God, He will straighten out the crooked places. Isaiah 45:2-3 says “I will go before you and level the exalted places, I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." 

Power, right? And proof that God will help you. So don't you lose your faith. It doesn't matter what you are confronted with and what you are faced with today or tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Stay with God and I'm telling you, He will go before you, and He will level all the crooked places out. Isaiah 45:2/3 is proof of that. God will help you just as He did with David when David said: Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
